The idea of a curated list of note and organizing tools is a pretty cool idea.

I’m stuck in a rut, myself. Devonthink works pretty well. I like the way I can create links to notes that can be synced across machines, for instance.

This is a nice idea in concept, but I think it is nearly impossible to do without driving yourself crazy. I know. I have tried. There are so many variables, so many different pieces of information to track. These products are constantly changing. And a lot of the curated information is subjective (for example, in what category would you put TheBrain or Airtable?)

Seriously, it is like trying to build a giant sand castle with the tide constantly streaming in and out.

As the sign says at the entrace to the haunted forest of Oz: “I’d turn back if I were you.”

This might be of use? https://github.com/brettkromkamp/awesome-knowledge-management
Lots of thinking about knowledge management, but the apps/tools list should offer a solid starting point.

As others have acknowledged, this sounds like quite the undertaking. It’d be interesting to see even the beginnings of a taxonomy of thinking tools. Three categories for thinking tools are (for my own purposes) are:
- linear thinking (note-taking in an app like Drafts)
- structured visual thinking (hierarchical mind-mapping tools like iThoughts, and non-hierarchical knowledge graphs like Kinopio)
- loose/freehand visual thinking (sketch/drawing apps like Concepts)

Even this isn’t particularly cast-iron; plenty of tools sit on the borders and cross the divides…

Thanks, Franz. It’s the first time I have seen it used that way.
